Bug? - Spaces missing when copying from Adobe Reader

I have found that when attempting to copy text from some documents (in Adobe Reader)on IOS, to paste into a writer program, that all the spaces are missing.
There is not aproblem with the same document / Adobe reader on my Windows PC.
There was also not a problem copying from the same document using another reader (ios FileBrowser native reader), then pasting.
I quick Google found that I was not alone...

This link lays out the issue, not common to all IOS PDF readers, with a solution: use another reader.
Is there a solution for this in Adobe Reader, or how can it be reported to Adobe?

There are no spaces there. That is not how pdf files are constructed. HOWEVER, on PCs and Macs, the applications are smart enough to figure that spaces should be inserted into the text being copied. The iOS app is not smart enough to figure out on certain pdfs that it should insert spaces on copying from those problemsome pdfs. Adobe does have a feature request/bug reporting form where you can report the problem:

Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader

Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader - any file, any time (Win 7, Adobe many versions until recent).
Copy works, but causes a needless and useless error message that has to be clicked away every time.
This problem is published on the web for a million times without a working solution. And even in the Adobe forum no qualified answer (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/441370)
When can I expect a solution?

Of course not.
But thank you anyway, I talked to my admin and we changed the whole company to Foxit.
It can be that easy.

PDF file pages missing when viewed in Adobe Reader XI

Hi All,
I have been made aware of a recent issue when viewing scanned PDF files in Adobe Reader XI. Pages are missing when the PDF file is viewed in Adobe Reader v.11.0.x though all pages are visible when file is viewed in Adobe Reader 10.1.5?
I can confirm I have checked Show large images option under Preferences -> Page -> Display, though this doesn't appear to have made a difference. I have been able to replicate this same issue on several other machines.
All machines checked and tested are running Windows 7 (64-bit).
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Never heard of such an issue. Can you share such a PDF with the forum? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

Avery Barcode labels does not align properly when printed from Adobe Reader 11.0.0

Hi,
I have barcode labels in a PDF (Version 1.4, Acrobat 5.x). PDF producer is PPAlambic(Distiller). When I try to print the PDF on to Avery 5160 sheet containing 30 labels (10 rows; 3 labels in a row), always the barcodes on the first column goes beyond the left margins and hence does not print the full barcode. PDF size is 8.5" * 11" .I have tried following options in Print dialog box:
1. Actual Size + Portrait + Letter size
2. Shrink oversized pages + Portrait + Letter size
3. Fit + Portrait + Letter size
None of the above options resolved my issue.
When I open the same PDF in Adobe Reader 11.0.07, it prints perfectly. Does someone help me understand if this is a known defect in Adobe 11.0.0 and is there any workaround in 11.0.0 itself to adjust the alignment?
Note: PDF is not editable as it comes from a third party vendor. Please help.

I have problem copy from Adobe Reader to MS Word

I copied text from pdf and when phasted onto MS Word, it turns out funny characters.

Probably, the font used isn't installed in your system, and the creator of the PDF file didn't embed it properly.

Artwork Missing when copying from ITunes Media Folder (iTunes 9.2)

After updating to iTunes 9.2, whenever I wanted to copy one song with Artwork to another folder, the artwork is missing as it did not copy anymore. Even if I look at the Preview window, there is no artwork.
The original song inside my Itunes Media Folder still has the artwork.
This can't be normal. Is there anyway to fix this?

This is a much larger problem with 9.2 corrupting the finder. Check out these following posts on this and other sites:

What version of Reader and OS X?

How can I copy a file from adobe reader to my contacts

How can I copy a list of names and addresses from Adobe Reader to my contacts

they will then let you import the movies to iphoto if you have osx

you can't access the ios devices filesystem directly and they can't access something like an external harddisk themselvs

How to restore files from Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad)?

I started using Adobe Reader for iOS to annote and comment pdf files. I used the Adobe Reader for Mac OS to upload the files to the Acrobat.com cloud.
Opening the files on iPad worked pretty straight forward and I started editing the pdf right away. When opening the pdf again a couple of days later on iPad, the app downloaded the pdf again in an older version with a couple of annotations present, but a couple of the more recent missing. This is a very disturbing behaviour since I cannot understand why it would sync an older version of the pdf from the cloud over the newer one. Luckily, this was no very important edit, but I will be very hesitant to use this feature in the future if there is a likelyhood for this happening again. Is there any possibility to recover the file with the original edits from the iPad?
The second thing that I don't understand is the mismatch of files shown in the adobe creative cloud and on acrobat.com when using the acrobat reader. 2 of the files I uploaded can be seen in both the adobe creative cloud and in the 'acrobat.com' cloud (is that a different thing?) as can be accessed from adobe reader on Mac OS. However, there are also files that can be accessed exclusively from the adobe creative cloud and files that can be accessed exclusively from the 'acrobat.com' cloud. I don't really understand the difference and how to sync the two.
Help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

AnAppleADay,
I personally agree that having two separate Adobe cloud storage services (Acrobat.com and Creative Cloud) is confusing and undesirable. However, I am not able to speculate on Adobe products or services in future releases.
There is no direct way to download files on Acrobat.com to your iPad/iPhone. However, you can download files from Acrobat.com via the web browser interface (https://cloud.acrobat.com/files) on your Windows or Mac desktop/laptop computer.
Then you can (a) email them to yourself and open them in Adobe Reader on your iPad, which results in storing the files locally on your iPad, or (b) use the desktop version of iTunes to transfer the files from your computer to your iPad. (It's convoluted. But I am not aware of any other options.) However, if you uninstall Adobe Reader for iOS, the operating system will erase all of associated application data including locally stored PDF documents.
I suspect that your problem is related to changes not being saved to Acrobat.com properly (not about syncing to an older version). When you make a lot of changes to a PDF document (e.g adding annotations or filling out forms), I'd recommend closing the modified PDF document occasionally, which forces Adobe Reader to save the changes to Acrobat.com. You will have less chance of losing changes due to unexpected problems or defects in Adobe Reader.
Please let us know if you know the steps to reproduce the problem (of losing changes) with a particular file on Acrobat.com. We can investigate the problem.
Thank you.

Does OS X corrupt files when copying from SD card to desktop?

Using finder to copy a folder and its files from SD card to mac desktop seems to cause *some* files to be corrupted, specifically a handful of MP4 files from a FAT32 SD card which was used in a digital camera. Using a binary/hex comparison tool reveals that some segments of the files contents were modified when copied from the SD card.
This error occurs when copying multiple files using Finder windows. However, when copying the same files one at a time, the corruption does not occur. This appears to be an OS level bug. In reviewing past content, I found that dozens of MP4 files have been corrupted in the past 4 months by merely copying the files from the SD card to mac desktop using Finder copy/paste.
I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3

Well, like I said, the byte size in fact did *not* change. So I'm not even concerned about that. What *did* change is the content of those bytes and it doesn't matter what operating system you are using, the content of those bytes is *not* supposed to change.
Also, like I said before, if I copy the individual file (MP4) insead of the entire folder, and then do the binary/hex comparison, the byte data is identical. i.e.
a) copying one file at a time produces an *identical* file on the HD, i.e. the byte count AND the byte content are precisely the same.
b) copying a folder with multiple files produces a *different* file on the HD, i.e. the byte count is the same BUT the byte content differs from the original file.

Adobepdf.dll missing when 99% of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium is installed?

99% Installed on Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium then received an error window: The file AdobePDF.dll on Adobe Acrobat CD-ROM is needed. Type the path where the file is located, and then click O.K. Browse to the file and copy files from it. Please advise as to how to finish this install. I am able to open each one of the applications that were installed from the Program Files, but the install is still sitting at 99% and the Files Needed window is still up. Please advise. Thank you!

I did see this information, but I do not have 64 bit, nor am I trying to
install CS3. So, will this work for 32 bit and CS5.5?
Thank you!

Unable to email PDFs from Adobe reader. Can't get the as is or flattened option

HHow do I email my PDFs from Adobe reader for the ipad? Can't find 'as is' or 'flattened options

To email the currently opened PDF document from Adobe Reader for iOS
Tap anywhere in the PDF document to display the top toolbar.
Select the Share icon (the second icon from the right) to display the following menu.
Select E-mail Document.
Select "Share Original Document" or "Share Flattened Copy" from the E-mail Document dialog.
Enter email recipient(s) in the To field.
Tap Send in the upper right corner to send the PDF document as an email attachment.
At Step 4, Reader may not display the E-mail Document dialog if the currently opened PDF document has some restrictions (e.g. no permission for editing, adding comments, and/or filling out form fields). The original PDF document will be attached to an email automatically.
To check if your PDF document has restrictions (that are specified by the author of the document), tap anywhere in the document to display the bottom toolbar. If the bottom toolbar shows the lock icon, your PDF document has restrictions.
When you tap the lock icon, the following popup will be displayed.
If the lock icon is not visible in the bottom toolbar or the bottom toolbar is not visible, it means that your PDF document has no restrictions.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.
